Based on the materials of the newspaper «Permskaya Zemskaya Nedelya», the problems of electrification of the Perm province at the beginning of the 20th century are considered. Publications that deal with economic, social and cultural aspects, as well as security issues associated with the process of electrification are analyzed. It is concluded that the zemstvo authorities, through their periodical printed edition, promoted among readers the idea of building a power plant in the territory of the Kama region, and also focused on the benefits of electrification both in domestic and industrial terms. Many intentions and plans of the Zemstvo, reflected on the pages of the newspaper, were already implemented in the Soviet period.

The publications are analyzed, containing data on charitable activities in Russia in the First World War, in the issues of the magazine “Perm Zemskaya Week”. The information is entered into a relational database. Based on this information, a mathematical-cartographic model was created, that reflects the spatial distribution of militarized charitable actions in the Perm province during the campaigns of 1914 and 1915. The most active were the economically developed cities, the least active were the counties far from the center of the province, and the agricultural counties show an average involvement in charitable activities
